Other products include software to monitor the process of die casting; temperature controllers; vacuum systems to remove air and gases from a die; and a range of hydraulic presses. The company is also capable of producing custom-built die casting machines and assembling turnkey automated casting systems.

HPM

HPM, one the best equipment manufacturers in the U.S.A., was founded in 1877 to make apple presses. During World War II, HPM provided hydraulic technology support for the US army. During the fast development of U.S.A., HPM turns to manufacture advance equipment including plastics injection molding machine, sheet extrusion lines and die-casting machines. The production bases of HPM were in Ohio (headquarter) and Schwerin in Germany.

Yizumi bought HPM’s intellectual property in March 2011. That included the right to use the HPM brand name, mechanical drawings, engineering designs and customer lists of plastics injection molding machine, die casting machine and extrusion machine, some high precise equipment. The acquisition of HPM intellectual property will definitely boost the progress of its technology innovation and international competitiveness. It is an important step to realize the plan of overseas R&D center in overseas countries.
